Description: Bubbeh (Yiddish for grandmother) is the charming story of a young granddaughter paying homage to the family member who showed her the subtlety and sanctity of life. As she explores the memories of her youth, a soulful and delicately woven tapestry of three generations of women unfurls, depicting how the generational pendulum swings out between mother and daughter, and then back again between grandmother and granddaughter.

Reflecting on her spiritual education, the girl's memories provide an informative glimpse into the Jewish community of Mexico City in the 1960s.
